If Im not mistaken (and im pretty sure im not), Machida, Silva, and Sores all claimed that his rib was injured prior to the fight while Anderson was sparing with Machida and he got caught with a body kick. Even if they didnt say that, Silva certainly did, so that would be you taking the trainer's word over the person that had the actual injury.

Usually when there are a few different conflicting yet similar stories, it's a combination of all of the above. I don't see how being injured during the fight would take away from Silva's performance. The rib injury also didn't cause Silva to get completely worked over in the 1st round; letting his guard down and eating a right hand did.

This has been the point I have been trying to drive home the entire time. However the rest of your post leads me to believe its impossible for you to empathize with his injuries.

On the rib injuries... and I have to assume you have never had any based on your post:

Pay close attention to the symptoms.

Yes. His trainer may have meant that he furthered the injury in the first, thus injured it in the 1st. We can barely translate or understand what they are saying half the time anyway.

With a rib injury it severely prohibits your movement and breathing. It will also hurt every time you rotate to throw a punch. Anderson said many advised him not to take the fight, but he went through it anyways because of his family.
